Start Sailing 2 is a continuation of your sailing knowledge and skills. In the Level 1 Course, you learnt how to go what you want, now we teach you to get there fast. Level 2 focuses on tuning your boat, with an introduction to racing. There will be more time on-water, in a fun and safe learning environment. You must have completed an Australian Sailing Level 1 course, or have equivalent skills to participate. 

Please come to the Regatta room to sign on and be briefed for your program, or find a friendly instructor to direct you.

Remember this is a water sport so you will get wet, and it is often hot and the UV is strong. All safety equipment is provided. You will need to bring the following items:

• Wear clothing that can get wet, and that you can swim in. No jeans or tight fitting trousers. Board shorts are good. You could also wear a wet suit if you have one. Absolutely no cotton shirts – try a rashie, polyester, wool, rayon, etc. instead.
• Shoes that cover your toes, either neoprene booties, reef shoes, or old trainers.
• A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. These are best tied on with string so you don't lose them overboard!
• A towel and a change of clothes. We have warm showers for after!
• A snack and a water bottle

Look forward to seeing you on the beach at GRSC!
